With our small population, overly proportional political\nrepresentation, and a contemporary history littered with environmental and\ncommunity battles played out in the political sphere, we are a population with\na heightened political awareness. As a chapter, our members are naturally\nrepresentative of the microcosm of the community we draw from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A year has passed since 36 Tasmanians made the trip north to attend the 2018 conference on the Gold Coast. As this is my last e-news message before the 2019 National Architecture Conference takes place in Melbourne on 20-22nd June, I thought it important to reflect on why the conference is important for the profession generally and for our chapter.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hosting\n1000 delegates each year, the National Architecture Conference is the\nprofession\u2019s largest annual gathering. Over a two day period the conference\nwill host 26 renowned local and international speakers over eight sessions. In\naddition to the conference program there are many fringe events including an\nopening party, workshops, site visits and walking tours. It\u2019s great that our\nchapter is represented with Mat Hinds and Poppy Taylor as speakers.&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This\nyear\u2019s conference has been curated by Monique Woodward (WOWOWA) and\nStephen Choi, (Living Future Institute Australia) and the theme is, <em>Collective\nAgency.<\/em> The theme\nraises the notion that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and with\nunity comes an ability to affect an outcome. The conference will hear from architects\nand thought-leaders, challenging the status quo and celebrating projects from\nsmall, medium, and large practices inside and outside of architecture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speakers\nwill encourage attendees to reflect on today\u2019s challenges, the articulation of\nmore meaningful protocols, and the willingness to act towards change. Attendees\nwill be challenged to re-examine their professional\naspirations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our beautiful state and strong sense of identity are virtues,\nhowever with the national conference so close to our shores, this represents an\nexcellent opportunity to take time from practice and reflect on the amazing\nwork being undertaken interstate.&nbsp; It is\nalso an unrivalled\nopportunity for networking and continuing professional development\nopportunities (10 massive CPD points!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I dream of a day where the national conference might be held on our shores. The first political act toward this end must be a strong presence at the National Conference &#8211; we currently have 35 attendees and would love to see this number grow. So please take this chance to be part of a national conversation about architecture and join Mat, Poppy and the rest of us in flying the flag for our chapter and state on the national stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shamus<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Australian Institute of Architects has organised preferential rates for conference attendees at a number of hotels in Melbourne so if you are interested&nbsp; check out the conference web site <a href=\"https:\/\/wp.architecture.com.au\/conference\/\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a> for more detailed information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"122\" src=\"http:\/\/wp.architecture.com.au\/news-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/02\/Shamus-Mulcahy-signature-300x122.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21305\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.architecture.com.au\/news-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/02\/Shamus-Mulcahy-signature-300x122.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wp.architecture.com.au\/news-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/02\/Shamus-Mulcahy-signature-150x61.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wp.architecture.com.au\/news-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/02\/Shamus-Mulcahy-signature.jpg 460w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Shamus Mulcahy RAIA<\/strong><br>President, Tasmanian Chapter,<br>Australian Institute of Architect<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>03 June 2019 Image: Jonathon Wherrett Are you an attendee or an activist?
